We spoke to Zoe Thomas, owner of ZT Make Up Artistry, to get the latest makeup tips for your big day!
Zoe Thomas, 28, has worked in this industry for over six years and well over half of her work is bridal. Check out some of her work below:
Zoe began her career in makeup over six years ago and says: "I've always had a love for art and creativity and found my flair in makeup at a young age."
In those six years Zoe's business has been a big success and continues to grow. Check it our for yourself by visiting her Instagram.
Zoe says she gets a real mixture of brides that know exactly what she wants or ones that need a lot of guidance. She said that many brides come to her with images from Pinterest and Instagram and when asked if this was helpful or a hindrance she said:
"I find it can both ways. Unfortunately, a lot of clients will pick Instagram looks that have been heavily filtered to achieve the result but as long as you're explaining this to the client before application that it isn't realistic in most circumstances they understand. You can take aspects of the look to incorporate it into your own style and creation."
Zoe's top tips for brides looking to do their own make up are:
1.Use a good primer and setting spray
2. Keep the lipstick/gloss in a clutch to top up during the day.
3. Urban decay - all nighter fixing spray is my holy grail. (Available here)
4. Spray brush before swiping highlighter to get that extra pop and glow.
When asked about current trends in bridal make up she said: "It is still the 'natural' trend. But I have noticed rose gold and metallic colours are being requested more."
If even with these tips you do not feel confident to do your make up for your wedding yourself you can book a professional like Zoe!
The average price for Zoe's work is £100 for both the trial and makeup on the big day itself.
